For SOHO in May, it’s nothing but Napa! We love featuring wines close to home, and this week we branch out a bit from all reds to a sauvignon blanc that we know you’ll love.  Make time to come see us this month, and enjoy what California has to offer!

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, May 23rd, and the wines and their tapas will be available through May 29th.

First, SOHO will pour a Cornerstone Sauvignon Blanc 2016 from Napa Valley. The winemaker offers,

“Intense aromas of ripe melon, white peaches and pineapple, with just a hint of summer jasmine. First sip is round and juicy with layers of ripe tropical fruit flavors. This dry white wine also has a little bit of the Musque clone, which adds complexity and a hint of sweet fruit.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Jax Vineyard Y3 Taureau 2015 from Napa. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Ruby purple in color, with loads of black cherry and briary black currant fruit, the wine is meaty and refreshing, with hints of mocha and earth. A beautifully rich, concentrated, irresistible style of wine to drink casually or with serious cuisine. Approachable upon release and will cellar till 2022 and beyond.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Priest Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 from Napa. Notes on the wine,

“Generous flavors of blackcurrants, plum, Asian spice, licorice and earth jump from the glass as well as the flavors of this full-bodied, supple-textured, low-acid and fleshy wine. It is delicious now.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef Joey Zelinka has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

Spanish reds are the name of the game this week, and boy, do we have three good ones for you! These intense vinos are perfectly paired with Chef Joey’s tapas picks, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

20140302mugacellars

 

First, SOHO will pour a Bodega Bernabeleva Camino de Navaherreros 2015 from San Martín de Valdeiglesias. The winemaker offers,

“The intensely floral bouquet offers aromas of strawberry, raspberry, rose, magnolia and Asian spices; similar to a rustic Pinot Noir, but the body an weight is very much old vine Grenache.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Volver Tarima Hill Old Vines Monastrell 2015 from La Mancha. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“This red shows grace and depth. Black cherry, plum, mineral and smoke flavors mingle harmoniously over well integrated tannins, while lively acidity keeps this focused. Not showy, but all the pieces fit together. Balanced, in the modern style.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Hacianda De Arinzano 2011 from Pago de Arinzano. Notes on the wine,

“Deep garnet red color. Intense aromas of black fruit, notes of cinnamon, smoky notes, roasted coffee and licorice. On the palate is a smooth and silky attack, very well balanced, high persistence to black fruits. Very long and powerful finish. A very elegant and refined wine. Silky wine with good structure. A very slow evolution in the bottle.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef Joey Zelinka has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

“Possessing lots of cool climate characteristics in its peppery, blackberry, violets and mineral-laced aromas and flavors, the 2014 Syrah Santa Barbara is fresh, elegant and medium-bodied on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity and fine tannin. it’s a classy, easy-drinking Syrah that has real character.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2015 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. The winemaker says,

“Deep ruby in color the 2015 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon expresses intense fragrances of black currants, ripe black cherries and blackberries with subtle notes of violets, mocha and dried spices.

First, SOHO will pour a 2013 Steele “Block N” Pinot Noir from Bien Nacido Vineyard in Santa Barbara. The winemaker notes,

“This vineyard, given its coastal influence, produces a wine with freshly picked strawberry, bing cherries, cloves and spice, aromas and flavors. But still has a balance of acidity and a finish that lingers of sweet tobacco and spices.

Next, SOHO will pour a 2013 Meyer Family Cellars Syrah from Yorkville Highlands. The wine is described,

“bursts with a ripe mixture of huckleberry, blueberry, and plum. Behind the fruit a savory backdrop mingles with violet, pepper, and wet earth. Two years in a barrel has softened the palate and added aromas of vanilla, cedar and clove.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2015 Halter Ranch “Synthesis” from Paso Robles. The winemaker offers the following tasting notes:

“A perennial favorite at Halter Ranch, Synthesis is our Cabernet Sauvignon based blend that continues to over deliver in deliciosity. Both red and black fruits and cassis dominate the nose, followed by flavors of black cherry and plums. Smooth and approachable, this wine is great on its own, but also pairs with virtually everything.”
